Your too relieved to be pissed so I’ll be pissed for you. WTF, was your doctor that upset that you waited that long to have it checked he figured he’d teach you a lesson? “Now look what happens when you don’t get these things checked out, you went and got BRAIN CANCER are you happy now”. Apparently he’s procrastinated too long on getting his eye’s checked. Time to find a new doctor Mason. Oh and it’s cool y

I hear a lot of people say this country is not ready to elect a black president. Granted it’s a very small demographic I’m exposed to to draw any conclusions, however I believe it to be generally true under normal circumstances. Right now however there are so many factors in Obama’s favor that could make it possible I think he’s going to win, but this is going to be a tough one to call. You have an intense dislike&nbs

It’s difficult to even imagine how such a fundamental shift in our society would be possible without taking several decades or more, you can certainly understand the reluctance of the government and business to do anything that’s going to hurt this bad. Higher fuel cost are unfortunately the only way get a democracy to take the road of pain. The new hybrids, witch are essentially electric until the batteries run out are the directio

Jeff Rubin, CIBC World Markets Chief Economist projects gas will soar to $7.00 per gallon by the year 2012. That’s a big reason why the major indexes were down 3% today. $4.35 is supposed to be the tipping point, then the market will take care of itself and will see all manor of energy efficient transportation finding it’s way to the consumer. I feel this transition needs to happen but it’s going to keep the economy down for a w

It looks like a basal cell to me but the only way to be sure is to biopsy it. It definitely doesn’t look like a melanoma though. If they scrape it out it cost around $300 and has a 5% chance of coming back. If they cut the skin out it has only a 1% chance of coming back but that’s going to cost around a thousand. Also scraping a larger area like that is going to take 2 to3 months to heal compared to a week with cutting it out. If it’s gotten th

[quote] and that's an intelligent question to ask? Com'on Stubby don't you know the answer to this question? [/quote] The author of "Darwin's Black Box" Michael Behe whom coined the term "irreducible complexity" stated under oath in the Dover trial that he believes astrology qualifies as a scientific theory, it does not. Behe is professor of biochemistry at Lehigh university so I think it is a reasonable question to ask your son. [quote]The Christian Scientists use

[quote]when you try to artificially manipulate the market, you only end up damaging it. This is not an opinion or theory. It is a fact (1970s wage and price controls).[/quote] Apples and oranges, the 70's wage and price controls were all about controlling inflation through wage and price caps, not an increase. We've been artificially inflating prices through taxes and tariffs for some time without a problem. The recent gas price surge has shown quite conclusively that even a

You can be a scientist and be a Christian and believe in the Christian belief in origins and otherwise be perfectly able to mesh with other secular scientists. It's only when the subject

[quote]that's not how the program works. He's already got a 4.0 in the schooling part of it. All he has to do is finish his research and to publish it. All of his senior Ph.D's who are surrounding him think he's brilliant and guess what? They have NO idea he's a Christian. They've tested him orally and by regular exams, they've watched him, they've had discussions at length with him and yet he's a Christian. One of them even told him (not knowing) that those Christian Scientists are idiots. S

I turned 45 8 months ago no big deal, but we are officially middle aged unless you suck at math or you have faith in the claim that science will extend our life spans to 150 like they say, then you got another 30 years like me.

I think if they say ok lets get' em and they do, it would be the the black cherry on the blood cake of this administration. That would mean at best that they left him alone all this time to keep the propaganda alive or at worst hoping he would attempt and maybe succeed in another attack to really keep us fearfully signing black checks and begging them to take away our freedoms. What a lazy disappointment Bin laden turned out to be. Then at the end of his

The WWT beta arrived last month in case you missed it. I've been playing with it a little and while geared for younger minds it is still very informative and offers a unique perspective not possible through any other medium. The beta seem to work find and content is growing quickly, especially the guided tours. Kudos to Microsoft they did a wonderful job.

[quote]And then you address what I said as if it was a direct answer to your points:[/quote] I took a chance :) [quote]I think you are mistaken "secular" for "rational". You don't have to be secular to apply the scientific method. You can believe in G-d, if you like, and you can believe that He created the world, and you can even believe that he still interacts with the world. The scientific method is not about removing G-d from the equation. The scientific method is about viewi
